Abstract

An approach for modeling the space charge density and the electric field distribution in electrostatic precipitators is presented. Two numerical techniques are used iteratively until a self-consistent solution is obtained: the boundary element method, for evaluation of the electric potential, and the characteristic method, determining the charge distribution. This hybrid approach is applied to simulate the electrical conditions in a wide-duct electrostatic precipitator and obtained results are compared with the experimental data.<>
